Local band Abrupt Edge: nice guys who rock

By Amy Atkins

"I started Abrupt Edge during my last year in high school. Anyone who knows me knows I go with the band and the band goes with me," says Cliff, whose dedication to his band and his music was tested earlier this year.

Question Authority's Rock the Mountain is in its ninth year

By Amy Atkins

In 1998, the band Question Authority built a mobile stage and took it with them on a camping trip to the mountains outside of Crouch, Idaho. They had so much fun camping out and performing, they did it again the next year. By the third year, they invited a couple of other bands to join them. And from those first dusty outdoor excursions, Rock the Mountain (RTM) was born. I met with Chris Trull, Jeremy Trull and Chris Fuqua-- RTM founders and three-fifths Question Authority--to find out more about the gathering and just what goes in to making an event like this a success.
